Trying not to smoke indoors as much as I can, the regular spot is still on the back patio, even if the weather is inclement. It's quiet and private. I like to watch the birds feeding and spot any new ones, even in this urban, built up district. Saw a Wren a few times, just hopping around the bushes and a regular Robin is always a delight to see. I also love to smoke with other pipers, so I always look forward to any pipe meets. One next Sunday in fact and also one the Monday evening after that, so two great venues where I can puff away with fellow smokers. In addition, regular visits to Kevla's home to while away an afternoon with pipes is about as good as it gets. Nothing like a bunch of pipers together with those heady, blue clouds of smoke drifting around our heads! Steve
